We had the good fortune of connecting with Kenzie Wesp and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kenzie, what are you inspired by?
i find inspiration in a lot of things, but I would say most of all the little things + little moments of this life are what fuel my creativity and drive. it’s in the little things that i find so much inspiration for life + work + future endeavors. in these moments is where i see the goodness of our God, and am inspired to make these aspects of my life mean something. whether it be the sunshine first thing in the morning, a simple act of kindness from a friend, or the breathe in my lungs… it is in the recognition of these things that i cultivate creativity, and ultimately am inspired to keep going!

What should our readers know about your business?
*feel free to change + alter*

Kenzie is the Owner of True Form Fitness: A Lagree Fitness Studio, and one of their most beloved Head Instructors. Her longtime passion for dance and movement, quickly evolved into a passion for fitness and overall wellness after an injury hindered her from continuing on in her dance career. Longing to fill the void that not dancing had left her with, Kenzie was introduced to the Lagree method and has been hooked ever since. One thing led to another, and within just a few years of taking class, she was trained and on the mic teaching classes at her local studio.

In March of 2022, almost a year after becoming a trained instructor, Kenzie took her love for Lagree + the people of Franklin and became the official Owner of Studio Novo Franklin: A Lagree Fitness Studio. In just one month, Studio Novo Franklin went from having 3 classes a day, to nearly 7 classes a day, and a waitlist that every client fought to get onto. Six months later, in October of 2022, she led Studio Novo Franklin through their official rebrand to True Form Fitness: A Lagree Studio. This name change allowed for Kenzie to branch off entirely from the studio name that held her to the brand of Novo, giving her more leeway to continue the growth she had started in March of that year.

What TrueForm has accomplished thus far in business, is one that rivals any top corporate fitness chain in Nashville and the surrounding cities. Operating up to 10 classes a day, and growing in business by nearly 300% in just 12 months, the brand of TFF is quickly becoming known in all circles within the fitness space. The future of this brand is bright, with studio #2 opening in Nashville in the Spring of 2024, with the overall goal to continue opening up doors in various towns and cities over the next 5 years.

And while the growth and success of this business has been nothing short of incredible, the heart of this space remains the focus. What client’s find to be their selling factor when it comes to choosing True Form, is that they are choosing community, over all else. They best describe this space as a “high end, Urban workout, with the bonus of Southern Charm and community”.

The heart of TrueForm, as described by Kenzie, is modeled in their mission “beTrue. beFormed”. TFF embodies so much more than a couple short letters & words paired together – rather, a story and paradigm to who we were created and formed to be. TrulyFormed together. Fully known & Deeply loved, knit together from the very start of our being. Everyone has a heart for a true and authentic community. Pairing this mission, basic human desires and fitness, has allowed for True Form to become the top two most highly acclaimed Lagree, Pilates, and overall Fitness studios in the area.
